Answer:
As I read, a question I have is, “Why didn’t Einstein think he was special in any way, only ‘passionately curious’?”
A text-to-self connection I can make is that, like Einstein, I enjoy using my imagination and asking questions to solve problems.
A text-to-text connection I can make is to an article I read in class, which also describes Einstein as “a man of his time.”
A text-to-world connection I can make is that Einstein is like many scientists today, who are also working to solve problems.
An inference I can make is that Einstein was a humble person.
My inference is supported by this evidence from the text: “’The contrast between the popular assessment of my powers . . . and the reality is simply grotesque.’ Einstein credited his discoveries to imagination and pesky questioning more so than orthodox intelligence.”
